=========================================================================== NAME pdb2img - generate a block representation image from a PDB file SYNOPSIS pdb2img [OPTION] [-s=factor] PDBFILE OUTFILE DESCRIPTION generate a block representation of base or peptide bond in PS, XFIG or Raster3D format. The six faces of each block can also be shown in different styles, resulting in much more revealing presentation than an atomic model. With Raster3D input, these blocks can be combined with other schematic representations (e.g., from MolScript) -f generate an XFIG file -r generate an input to render of Raster3D -n without header for Raster3D (with -r) -p block representation for peptide bond -c color image -i identical style for the 6 faces of each block -u up-down faces instead of minor/major groove faces -m minor groove plus identical 5 other sides -s=factor set scale factor (to put image in the same scale) -b draw a boundary frame around image -h this help message (any non-recognized options will do) INPUT PDB file One-letter options can be in either case, any order and combined EXAMPLES pdb2img -bcu sample.pdb sample.ps pdb2img -fc sample.pdb sample.fig pdb2img -rc sample.pdb stdout | render -jpeg > sample.jpg OUTPUT PS, XFIG or Raster3D input file bblk_lkg.alc, pblk_lkg.alc SEE ALSO r3d_atom, alc2img, stack2img, blocview AUTHOR Written by Xiang-Jun Lu at Wilma K.
